Based on initial observations, discussion is presentedconcerning what constitutes a good project; two example assessment instruments are shown (oneinstructor-based and the second peer-based); and guidelines are given for how students atdifferent levels, bringing unique skills to each team, are managed and graded. Assessments frominterdisciplinary teams’ midterm presentations on an industry-sponsored project show that teamsare generally weaker in “engineering skills” such as quantifying design requirements than theyare in skills represented by other disciplines on the teams.IntroductionPhiladelphia University has developed a theory and practice of teaching and curriculumdevelopment based on signature pedagogies1 and integrative
, & Macrander,2015). To provide a snapshot of this prior classroom research, we will focus on frameworksproposed by Russ et al. (2008) and Krist et al. (2019). They differ in important ways, and we findthat the combination of these two frameworks works well to describe the ways mechanisticreasoning emerges in children’s engineering.Drawing from depictions of mechanistic reasoning by philosophers of science (Machamer et al.2000), Russ et al. (2008) developed a coding scheme to enable education researchers to conductsystematic analysis on the substance of mechanistic reasoning in students’ science inquiry. Theirscheme includes seven hierarchical categories suggesting that mechanistic reasoning is evidentwhen students describe the target
Engineering Courses (N=94)Feedback from the first cohort revealed a significant stress level experienced by students in theirengineering courses, especially in their first semester. Many felt they were not as prepared astheir engineering peers. An online summer transition experience was developed in response tointroduce students to computational tools for those who had not had any experience inprogramming and has been favorably received. The first cohort was a pioneering class and thepresence of second year students who could reassure the first-year students has also helped.Comments from students have been positive. One first-year student wrote: IBE has completely transformed my perception of higher education. As I reached the end of high

However, this is not as simple as it seems as universities arenow challenged with providing non-standard curriculum offerings because as explained byPassow “engineering curricula whose graduates will thrive in practice must developcompetencies beyond the traditional emphasis on “math, science, and engineering knowledge,”and possibly beyond ABET’s eleven” [4]. As access to education increases and continues togrow throughout the nation, competition for both education and jobs is rising; thus, making itmore difficult to fill these spots.In the U.S., engineering and computing programs usually follow a 128-credit bachelor’s degreerequirement.

Therefore, learning about these unconscious biases is critical sinceindividuals can make the most effective decisions, from acknowledging a great idea to building aworkforce and workplace that supports and encourages diversity. Social sustainability is anecessary tool, especially in the construction industry, to address unconscious biases that wouldimprove workers' occupational health and safety, increase training opportunities to employeesfor their professional development, increase access to fresh drinking water, ensure job security,and maintain diversity [4].

They continue to popup on lists of what students shouldbe able to do to be successful in their careers including recent research by Project Lead the Way[5] and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) [6].The school district shared their experience with us. The class is within their Career andTechnology Education pathway. Ultimately, they want all 8th graders in the district to take thisclass. During their pilot program, the teachers followed a design curriculum based on anenvironmental engineering project. The students were supposed to learn about an environmentalissue.

In developing teacher questions and facilitation moves for DesignTalks, we drew upon this idea of a carefully framed launching prompt. In addition, we were alsoinfluenced by work in math education on “orchestrating” productive math discussions (Stein etal., 2008) and on setting sociomathematical norms in the classroom where students are invitedand expected to share their nascent mathematical reasoning and ask questions about their peers’mathematical
